I never really trained for OBE, but the process, i am familiar of. i always end up waking on heaviness of the body, unable to move, specially if i sleep faceup, back flat on the bed. at first i tried to fight it, but it hurts if you force yourself to move. and sometimes, my roomate wakes me if i was heard moaning, and for that, i was very grateful. i moan because i was calling for help, but no words were comprehensible. whem i was on OBE, (which only happened three times), i never get out of the house because im scared. plus, it's all black and whiteand grey! but this whole new experience freaked me out. instead of going out smoothly, i sunk, like some gravity was pulling me down. now i always sleep sideways, or facedown. hey, call me a wuss, but i dont know what will happen if i let myself slidedown! any thoughts?
I've had a similar (very similare) experience, but I've never been pulled down by a force. But I've had the inabitity to move and it felt realy ominous; I had no one to wake me so I reacted rather quickly. I called forth a bright, shimmering holy light from deep within me and dispelled the paralysis. I was able to move and that ominous feeling was gone.
